Abstract

The process for introducing a filling gas into an enclosure initially containing a holding gas includes a step of introducing the filling gas into the enclosure as well as a step of extracting a specific gas initially contained in the filling gas or the holding gas from a mixture collected at the outlet of the enclosure, and possibly a step of recycling this extracted specific gas. Before the step of introducing the filling gas, the enclosure is purged using a purging gas which differs from the fill and holding gases.
